Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to book?

Yes, booking is essential to make sure we have enough time to photograph every child. You can book a session directly through the swim school or contact me via phone or email to secure your spot. A $10 deposit is required at the time of booking.

Each underwater photoshoot session lasts 10 minutes, which is plenty of time to capture beautiful and dynamic images of your child. My camera can take multiple photos in a matter of seconds. This ensures I can capture every smile and silly face!
